O great God of highest heaven,
occupy my lowly heart.
Own it all and reign supreme,
conquer every rebel power.
Let no vice or sin remain
that resists your holy war.
You have loved and purchased me,
make me yours forever more.

2. I was blinded by my sin,
had no ears to hear your voice,
did not know your love within,
had no taste for heaven’s joys.
Then your Spirit gave me life,
opened up your word to me
through the gospel of your Son,
gave me endless hope and peace.

3. Help me now to live a life
that’s dependent on your grace.
Keep my heart and guard my soul
from the evils that I face.
You are worthy to be praised
with my every thought and deed.
O great God of highest heaven,
glorify your name through me.

You are worthy to be praised
with my every thought and deed.
O great God of highest heaven,
glorify your name through me.
